Why should I respond to the annual census?

Voters are required to return the census form annually to retain their active status on the voter list. The Town Clerk conducts an Annual Census for the Town of Sharon. The mailing goes out in early January. Residents are requested to return the form promptly. New residents are requested to fill out a census soon after they move into Sharon.

The information collected by the census is used by several town departments, including schools and public safety to insure the safety of our residents. The Town Clerk uses the information to update and verify voting lists and to produce the Street List. NO information can be released for children under the age of 17 for any purpose, except to the Sharon Public Schools.
